    its not as easy as you think mate. if you meant eh actual axel pins then you will need a big ass press to press them back in

    easy if you have a 60 ton press and know your way round the rear axle set up, not easy if you don't

    gear/ hub puller pulls the old ones off (after undoing the hub nut) new hub slides on, job done
